Founded by UK indie labels Suplex Cassettes, Kissability, and Sexbeat in 2013 alongside US superstars Burger Records, last year’s Cassette Store Day saw involvement around the globe and 2016 will be no different.

This year they are joined by Mansions and Millions/Späti Palace in Germany, Balades Sonores in France, and VSI from Japan.

Co-founder Jen Long of Kissability said, “Every year around spring the emails and questions begin – will there be another Cassette Store Day? When will it happen? Can I put out a tape? For a supposedly dying format there’s still so much love and life for those little bits of plastic. I know come October there will be another special release list and days of celebration planned around the world. Vive le cassette! as our partners in France might say.”

Burger Records add, “When we completed Cassette Store Day 2015 we went back to the drawing board. We said ‘We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s best Cassette Store Day. 2016 will be that year. Better than it was before. Better… stronger… faster.'”
